Working on my HMG Kriza and trying to do justice to the detail on the armour!

Our group played a Mad Max style game called Broken Axles. It's available as a home-published PDF for $10 or so from the author. The layout of the rules is absolutely amateur but the game itself is a basic speed and shoot fest. We had fun so that's what's important.

The other two guys also played a game of Frostgrave, another initiation to the rules game for the newest player, while I sat that one out and watched. We talked about doing an upcoming campaign so we'll see how that goes.

Went and bought this little beast. Now to think what to do with painting. Keep or strip and if strip how?

Working the the jewels on my Warp Spiders.

Cheers,

Debating between playing a game tonight or assembling 'nids. I'm nowhere near enough for a list of them, but it would be a nice stress reducing activity (I hope).

I did assemble my Bullgryns, Incuding Bone'ead 'Kommisar Dakka'

Kingdom Death and OSL practice.

Sorting a list out for the Wednesday night, first run for Hive Fleet Turnip under 8th...

Bit of painting on some orks to try and get them to about 1k so they can be used as well.

Still no idea which box of about 40 or so the index is lurking in though

Almost done my oop metal Warp Spiders.

Cheers,

CB

Going to assemble and magnetize Termagaunts.

I would definitely not strip it! From the pictures, it looks like the paint job was fairly well done, i.e. not lathered on with a mop, so just paint over it. I doubt you'll lose any noticable detail.

Back OT, I just broke out my recently purchased Horticulous Slumux...I love this model...and he's getting assembled tonight. It's Nurgle time, baby!

I put together my Captain Naverez stand-in for the most part. I just need to order more of the appropriate backpack to match the other HQ dudes I made.

I can get a pic of them if people are that interested.

Australian Aldi has got in its Christmas nativity stuff today and I managed to pick up 3 packs of Lemax 13 miniature trees.

Missed these last year when I wanted them for Frostgrave and Infinity. sNow I have some.

Put 2 layers of yellow to blood angels leaving just red for armour airbrushed. Also put on first coat of gunmetal for knight that has waited like 2 years for paint! Then finished up Custodian HQ conversion, custodian with their special power fist conversion and 2 guardians with special spear(1 of each). Now once I get all custodians painted I have 2 squad of 3 spear guys(both having special spear, different ones for both squads) and 3 sword&shield plus HQ. Strong small ally group for blood angels.

Oh and initial paint strip test for resin model. Last night I simulated painting by putting in several layers of paint for couple resin pieces and today I stripped them. Also got big enough container that can contain the warhound titan. Next step would be try stripping paint from one piece of titan(luckily several parts are still held by blutack rather than being glued. I'll take one of those as first test piece before working on main body or legs! Hopefully the real deal loses paint as quickly as the test pieces!

Started work on some industrial terrain, trying my hand at applying rust.

Gave my Tyranids a test drive with the new book, facing IG infantry and hellhounds - was bound to be a quick game, didn't expect to win at the end of my second turn though.

The new rules for the army and 40k generally are brutal

Took a break from the oop metal Warp Spiders and did some early work on 7 oop metal Guardians.

Cleaned, trimmed, soaked, soaped and dried my Leviathan dreadnought...will plan the assembly/painting for tomorrow, base layers at least if it all fits together.

Was reminded why I dislike resin.

Was going have a game of 40k but once again my local store is shut.

#OneManStores

I'm finally putting some paint on my Dark Imperium Plague Marines. I might also put some more work in on my Ravenwing Dark Talon.

Worked on some terrain.

Not much else due to time.

Cheers,

CB

Put on 2 layers of red for rest of blood angels so blood angels all done for airbrush stage. Next I'll start working on rest of colours.

Started stripping paint from the warhound titan starting with smaller separate pieces. Need to buy more paint removal a bit to deal with the bigger pieces but paint goes away even faster than I hoped for.

bit more work on an Ork Truck, essentially finished ten boyz except for basing which I'll start tomorrow and assembled three killa kans, which are apparently rubbish but are amazing models, plus I wanted the flame thrower from the box and once a box is open..

Painted a celestial guard yo test the colour scheme for my ISS,

Stripped warhound though maybe second bath for legs. Alas while weapon glue broke loose it was shoulder to body so not help for making swappable weapons. Have to think if there was way to dissolve glue without harming resin

Touching up on oop metal Warp Spiders.

Cheers,

CB

Going to attach the heads for these 16 termagaunts. And then start the magnetizing. May the emperor have mercy on me.

Might assemble genestealers instead.

Worked on more terrain.

Cheers,

CB

Ran another outing for Hive Fleet Turnip, 2k game, defeat, but managed to kill Girliman with Hormogaunts.

Enjoying the new book a lot.

Also picked up a box of objectives because they look like something that will be useful

Finished my Space Hulk set, now working on a Callidus Assassin and basing a Stormtalon.

I've started working on a small force 19th century Prussians to use for VSF games. Not got too far yet, just got the basic colours on the first batch of infantry. Hopefully I might be able to finish them off later today or early next week at the latest and start to work on some more VSFey parts of the force in the form of steam automatons (I also have a tank that I'm saving until the end of the project).
